Bell announces a new Bell TV app.

Bell’s new TV Anywhere app.

Not to be outdone by Rogers, with their Anyplace TV, Bell has announce a new TV app that will let customers watch popular channels they receive in their programming package at home on tablet or smartphones at no extra charge.
“Bell has invested billions in building next-generation Canadian wireless and fibre networks to execute our commitment to deliver the best TV experience across every screen,” said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility and Residential Services, and Chief Brand Officer at Bell. “The Bell TV app gives customers the flexibility to watch TV everywhere, at home or on the go. It’s the latest proof that with Bell, TV just got better.”
Our sources at Bell tell us that the TV app will allow you to search by program name, description, channel, live or on-demand. Bell Fibe TV customers can also stop and resume on-demand programming between their TV at home and their mobile device.
The Bell TV app includes the Bell Mobile TV service that already allows Bell Mobility customers to watch TV anywhere over Bell’s HSPA+/LTE wireless network or Wi-Fi. With Bell Mobile TV, Bell TV customers now have access to more than 100 unique live and on-demand channels.
Customers should definitely contact Bell because a lot of their most popular rate plans will be provided with 10 hours of Mobile TV connectivity or as a $5 a month add-on that does not affect data usage in a customer’s plan. Current Bell Mobile TV customers are automatically upgraded to the Bell TV app (some customers may need to do so manually depending on their individual device settings).
In addition to conventional networks CTV and CTV Two, the Bell TV app provides subscribers access to specialty channels Bravo, A&E and History, premium channels TMN, SuperChannel and Movie Central, children’s programming on Teletoon, Treehouse and YTV, sports on TSN, Leafs TV and NBA TV Canada, 24-hour news on CTV News Channel, CBC News Network and BBC World News and a wide variety of French language including Super Écran, SRC, V and Canal D, RDS, RDI and LCN.

The Bell TV app is available for Android devices at Google Play, BB10 devices in BlackBerry App World and iOS in the Apple and iTunes App Store. For more information, please visit Bell.ca/TVAnywhere.
